The Problem with a Perfect Brand

FEAR Has it’s challenges…..

• We had no clear digital strategy & a more limited understanding of the true potential online.
• The digital team were fire fighting the wrong problems • Our PPC account structure was focused on the wrong metrics & built in an
ineffective way – focused on desktop & budget, not CTR & conversion • SEO – Our website didn’t take into account the value of Routeplanner, Roadwatch
and other content online. • Online data showed evidence of declining interest. • We had limited focus on mobile users. We only looked at desktop – missing at
least 25% of the market as a result and impacting the research online, purchase offline process
• We only had a small presence in social media with @aaroadwatch on twitter • AA Business & other services were a low priority online.
